#### 16.5.2 Preparing index entries for Microsoft Help Viewer

Microsoft Help Viewer 1.x requires extra meta elements for index terms, so converting DITA <indexterm> elements to HTML or XHTML is not enough.

To have DITA2Go prepare index entries for eventual use in Microsoft Help Viewer 1.x:

    [Index]
    ; UseHVIndex = No (default) or Yes, prepare meta elements for use
    ; with Microsoft Help Viewer 1.x
    UseHVIndex = Yes

Index terms for Microsoft Help Viewer 1.x look like this:

    <meta name="Microsoft.Help.Keywords" content="Marker, Plain index" />
    <meta name="Microsoft.Help.Keywords" content="Unicode%2C mañana…" />
    <meta name="Microsoft.Help.Keywords" content="Index marker, First" />
    <meta name="Microsoft.Help.Keywords" content="Index marker, Second" />
